Hid's in Stock Housing who has done it?

I seen there was a thread awhile ago on this subject , but it is now closed and didn't ask my question. Who has done it? I have asked on a Hid forum about it and they said stay away from Ebay projectors their useless your better off just running them in your stock housing as your Cobalt is a modern car and shouldn't glare/blind too much.

Because I don't want to retrofit, so who on the forum is running Hid's in their stock housings, and do you have a beam shot?


I ordered some 35 watt 4500K from Ddm tuning.

Thanks

Welcome to the forums, I haven't personally seen our headlamps with HIDs in them myself, but I would imagine from the way the bulbs are made that they would have some glare since its the entire bulb lighting up not just the filament.

ebay projectors work just fine.whoever said it wont glear and blind people because its a modern car was a retard haha trust me i had them in my balt got flashed even during the day and got stopped lots at night got projectors never had 1 single problem since not blinding ppl and still get great light oh and no cop trouble.

Ebay Projectors > HID's in Stock Housings.

I had HID's on the stock housings for about 6 months and I never had any single problem, but that doesn't mean I didn't flash anyone
Retrofit is the way to go, kinda expensive but it worth it.

I do. They are not too bad. I think eBay projectors would be a better choice as far as blinding people. You will just have to deal with peeling lenses and burnt out LEDs.

Use some plastic polish on them to take away the peeling.

Use some plastic polish on them to take away the peeling.

Or even better get OEM lenses.

Ok cool, so your running the stock halogen housing, is it possible that you have a beam shot like this?

Hey dude I ve done this I recently put a set of 6000k with 55w ballasads in my stock housings mind u tho i have OEM euro headlamps that are basically stock but with black back grounds I ordered them from DDM too!!! i love them but let me ask u did u order the High and low beam package?? and did u order the Relay harness kit?? because there is a really helpful install Guide located on this site in the "How To section" its basically the same kit but lil different............Another tip The DDM kit did not come with instructions and the bulbs were a bitch to fit......I had to trim some plastic off of the BLACK PLASTIC CYLINDER LOCKS in order the get the bulbs to clear MSG me if u need help
